• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content exceeds 0.25% and nonalloy composition; ensure rectangular cross-sections measure over 4.75mm without further surface treatments
• Watch for misclassification as blooms if width exceeds 1.5x thickness
• Declare exact dimensions to avoid reclassification
